NOTICE TO PORN COMMUNITIES, PLEASE SET AN NSFW FLAG ON YOUR POSTS, thank you

NSFW_REPORTER@lemmy.world to Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world – 321 points –

use an nsfw flag if you're posting porn, please

i, and probably many others as well would not like porn to randomly appear on our homepage, this is nothing personal, but forcing porn on people is not right, I understand that many are new to lemmy/kbin so they might not have seen the option to flag posts as NSFW, but please edit your posts now that you know and apply it

Thank you

How do i do this?

tick that tickbox

I would mention the super simple clean minimalist user interface and ease of use. But the last time I said that here someone posted a thousand word rant about how much they hate former redditors coming in here begging for more reddit. So I'm kind of scared to say anything now.

Speak your piece here, dude. Who gives a shit about the naysayers telling you how and where you can talk?

Please do not let them deter you from sharing your thoughts. Everything you say is valuable to us, regardless of how you consider it in your own mind.

Any kind of engagement you provide in any of the federated instances are welcome.

Someone should open an issue on the git repo for lemmy & kbin to add a community-wide nsfw option, so that nsfw communities can just force all posts to be marked. Also allowing instance admins to do the same for remote communities or even entire instances (for example a nsfw-dedicated instance) would also be a very good feature to have.

I dunno if that's gonna scale if it requires per-instance work.

Maybe if there was a mechanism for trusting some remote feed of tags being attached to content. There are automated classification systems that can detect porn, and if you have one that presumptively flags magazines and instances that have a high ratio of flagged instances, that might be able to do most of the work. Maybe mix with graylisting, so that a receiving user chooses to defer seeing content from new magazines and instances, which would give classification systems a chance to process it before it gets seen.

Another problem is that there isn't a single global concept of what is socially-acceptable and legal, and requiring a single manually-set flag where the user at the source and the destination must have a common understanding imposes a certain inflexibility on the Fediverse as a whole, as it aspires to be a system for the world.

The main offender is Lemmynsfw.com, so instance wide shouldn't be an issue for them. People posting there think it's obvious since it's in the name, but that doesn't work with federation.

What's up with the horrible formatting in OP's post? At least on mobile.

Everybody loves good header but gosh...

Formatting looks fine on PC from kbin, but the random not capitalized bit annoys me.

Oh yeah, I should've specified using kbin as well. The text is just way too big.

Most of it should be from lemmynsfw.com, so that may make things simpler. From what I've seen, we're usually pretty good about tagging it, especially since it's the default when posting on lemmynsfw.com, but of course I can't speak for other instances.

Yeah, it’s a new instance and a lot of new people coming in from Reddit so it’s slipping threw the cracks. Just because the whole instance is NSFW doesn’t mean all of the communities are correctly being marked. It’s probably user error more than anything else.

I personally don’t really care, but I do have NSFW blocked in case I’m scrolling in public and I have been surprised by dicks a few times.

Ok it feels like spam after seeing this for the 6th time. I'm blocking you, sry.
